A guy on Upwork told me my $75 logo quote was an insult, and honestly he was right
So about 5 months back I was scrolling Fiverr at like 11pm doing that thing where you convince yourself you are just browsing. I had a logo gig open at 75 bucks because that is what everyone else in my niche was charging and I figured hey, quick money. This guy messages me, a real client, and says my price was the reason he almost skipped my profile, because in his words cheap work attracts cheap problems. He ended up hiring someone else at $400 and I sat there kind of annoyed for a day or two. Then it hit me that I had been racing to the bottom on Fiverr for a year and a half and my earnings never grew past maybe $900 a month. Ever since I bumped my base to $250 the weird lowballers stopped messaging and the actual serious buyers started showing up. Funny thing is I get fewer orders now but I make more and deal with way less nonsense. Anyone else notice that raising your rate on these platforms filters out the people you did not want anyway?

Man, this is so true, I stopped wasting time on tire kickers once I did the same.
